Health Briefs TV Reports on Limiting High Fructose Corn Syrup

High fructose corn syrup is in many diet sodas

There have been many reports on the effects high fructose corn syrup has on our bodies and health. Some good and some bad. Health Briefs TV reports on how to limit it in your diet.

High fructose corn syrup can be found in many food and beverages. From tomato ketchup, frozen treats and diet soda, it seems it is in most of the things we consume. Despite the recent medical finding that it can increase the risk for heart disease, there are steps we can take to limit the amount of high fructose corn syrup in our daily diets.

Avoid drinking diet soda or sugar-free drinks every day. These drinks have a higher amount of fructose corn syrup than other beverages such as iced tea or water.

Make homemade ice treats by freezing natural fruit juices in molds with popsicle sticks. They are easy and taste better than the store bought kind. If this is not convenient, read the nutritional info on the box and buy ones with a lower amount of high fructose corn syrup.

Avoid eating fast food which can contain a larger amount of high fructose corn syrup.

Skip condiments that have high fructose corn syrup in it.

The Health Briefs TV show suggests reading food labels and sticking to organic condiments which tend to not contain high fructose corn syrup.  To find more food and beverage products with little or no high fructose corn syrup, click here. 

Health Briefs TV Knows Where the Fat Goes After Weight Loss

Breathe a sigh of relief. Drink some water. Cry tears of joy. Health Briefs TV learns where the fat goes after we lose weight.

Where does the fat go when we lose weight?  A group of Australian researchers followed the route of fat when it is broken down into its different parts. First, the chemical bonds are broken which released heat and fuel to muscles. The atoms, which is the fat actually, remains and much of it leaves the body via the lungs as carbon dioxide. Fat from food is stored in the body’s cells called adipocytes and further stored as a compound called triglyceride. This is made of three kinds of atoms: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and when it breaks down, about a fifth of it forms water and the rest becomes carbon dioxide.

Health Briefs TV relays the water is excreted in sweat, urine, feces, breath and tears. The C02 is discharged through the lungs when we breathe, and can only be replaced by eating food and drinking beverages like juice. So where does the fat go when we lose weight? We breathe it out and we excrete it out. But we still have to exercise to boost weight loss. It also helps to reduce portion size and consume healthy foods.  Make a lifestyle change today that will lengthen life for years.
